I'm so glad you're here! This is a community where learning to write your own signature is just the beginning. We believe everyone deserves an invitation to literacy, no matter their age or previous handwriting experience. Let's get acquainted! Introduce yourself below by telling us: 1. Where are you joining us from? 2. Did you learn cursive in school? 3. What would you most like to improve about your handwriting or signature? Next, visit our Start Here classroom for your first free lesson. And mark your calendar for our inaugural online workshop on Saturday, October 17, from 9:00–10:30 a.m. Eastern. Remember: You don't need beautiful handwriting to begin. You only need the willingness to learn. Dr. Patricia Key Franklin

Does Penmanship Still Matter in 2026? I believe it does—perhaps now more than ever. As we celebrate our nation's history, it's worth remembering that the vision of America was first written by hand. The Founding Fathers didn't type the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or the Bill of Rights. They carefully crafted those documents with pen and ink. Their penmanship preserved the ideas that shaped our national identity and continues to inspire generations. Today, we live in a digital world where keyboards, tablets, and voice-to-text have transformed how we communicate. Those technologies are valuable, but they should add to our abilities—not replace them. Neat penmanship and cursive writing remain important life skills. Cursive doesn't compete with technology. It complements it. What do you think? When a person learns cursive, they gain much more than the ability to sign their name. The strongest communicators of the future won't choose between handwriting and technology—they'll know how to use both. Let's give our children every advantage by teaching them to think, read, type, and write beautifully. 🎌Invite your friends and family to join the self guided Write Cursive Now! here for the Kick Off🔥 JULY PACKAGE Price of $100 ✒️ which includes access to unlimited intro📃📃📃 lessons and practice and for the entire month!

(long post) "Trump-backed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or the SAVE America Act, seeks to address the president's longstanding demands to "fix" U.S. elections that he says are "rigged" and "stolen," despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud. I read this, just published in an op ed on wed Feb 10th, "( Barajas, 2026) Ok , powers- that- be are moving beyond the signature as a value ladder to be snatched. I see strange movings and wonder if our community is up for the challenge. Our youth have been denied one the most ancient representations of education. For 30 years, handwriting, cursive script and the related skills owned by those who scribe or write for learning and retention have taken back seat to AI and computing. A whole generation are now ignorant to cursive script, can not create, not read nor understand it. What they put on paper in schools now is frightening. They seem not to feel the need that has driven so many before them... to maintain that level of intellectual self knowledge. I hear the drumbeat!!! Rumblings now hint at voter registration interruption and consequent denial. Three states in 2024 elections denied thousands their voting rights because they could NOT create a cursive signature. Look at how we started 2025. Now, I understand that it is a local choice to determine if a signature must be cursive. Print and/or the general MARK have been accepted in many locations. This year, 2026 credentialing is the buzz. Passports and birth certification seem like easy preps, except that a great many have changed names, altered identifications or lost track of birth certificates. As for the passport, many have never owned or maintained possession of a passport. Now that government has been slashed, some regular services take twice as long as years gone bye. What is setting up for a last minute rush for credentialing could be the undoing of half the USA voters. An additional drain for our dollars.
